I don't know what you expect people to look in but the indexes are not going to tell you who someone's parents were because they don't give the mother's maiden name before the third quarter of 1911 and partners to marriages are not linked until the first quarter of 1912. There is only one certain way to discover who the parents were which is to purchase the birth certificate which you can do from the GRO online. This will cost you £9.25 in pounds sterling and you can have it sent to you in NZ. The GRO's address is: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp The first time you go on to it you have to register and then fill in the form to order the certificate. However, it is quite straight-forward. But as another lister has told you, you should be able to discover who the parents were by finding the family in the 1911 census. Robert has been indexed at Findmypast as Robert GASTON Binch but I'm sure it's him because the age is spot on and I looked at the image and it reads Turton, so is a simple mistrancription. The reference is: RG14PN20397 RG78PN1222 RD429 SD2 ED6 SN7 I will have to leave it to somebody else if they choose to give you further details because, as one who has a connection with FMP in that I do a blog for them, I am afraid I'm not prepared to break the licence by passing on an image or detailed transcription to a third party. However, if you have a subscription to FMP, Ancestry or any of the other websites that have the 1911 census you should be able to find it for yourself. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
